Baby girl..... glad to hear things are not to bad except for your headaches. Don't worry so much about the fluids, your tummy is still swollen, so really you are not gonna get that much in. Just take one day at a time. Get in as much as you can. Protein shakes can come later too. It gets better each day. Keep me updated. Ciao.

That's good to know. I've been wanting a ice cold diet Dr. Pepper. I probably still will not have one until I'm on maintenance. Deb

How soon/How much walking
Dansha replied to ChrisV67's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon's office advises his patients to start walking for about 30 minutes daily from the time you get out of the hospital. This can be done in 5 minute increments. Walking will be the exercise for at least the first 4 weeks. Begin resistance training as soon as your doctor clears you. Deb -
WOW!!!! You must be super proud of yourself. Enjoy the feeling. That's a big accomplishment. Continued success!!! Care to share your carb count and exercise program? Deb

Do VSGers need Medical Alert Bracelets?
Dansha replied to Besitos's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't have a bracelet, but my surgeon provided a sticker to attached to the back of my driver's license. It simply says Patient has Lab Sleeve Gastrectomy. No NG Tube w/o calling xxx-xxx-xxxx. Fluid capacity 60cc or less/limit NSAIDS and then my surgeon's name. Deb -
How long did you stay in the hospital?
Dansha replied to Dave_NW's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was the hopsital one night. I went back to see my surgeon 9 days later to remove my staples. I will see him again in 2, 6, and 12 months to check my labs. After that it will be just once a year to check lab values. Deb -

I stayed overnight in the hospital, but my drain was taken out by the time I left the hospital the next morning. There was no pain just felt kinda weird when the nurse pulled it out. I also had to give myself blood thinner injections of Arixtra for seven days post op to prevent blood clots. Which was a surprised to me when I went to my first consult with my surgeon. I didn't find out until I had my pre op educational class. Wow... at first I was very unsure about giving myself an injection, but really it was no big deal. I don't know how many people actually had to do this. I believe my surgeon is very cautious. Which is OK with me. Deb

Welcome Robin and hubby. So glad you found us. This forum is a great place for research,support and sometimes just needing a place to vent. I'm just about 4 weeks post op. and I can tell you this is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I feel blessed, truly blessed to have my sleeve. I hope you and your husband are able to get approved and have your surgery soon. I believe you will not regret it. Please keep us posted as your journey progresses. Best of luck. Deb
